Puntos de vista marginales: Si tienes un artículo sobre la luna que trata por igual la idea de que la luna está hecha de rocas y la idea de que la luna está hecha de queso, no tienes neutralidad, ¡tienes un punto de vista extremo que presiona por una opinión minoritaria radical! Cómo, en la práctica, resolver un sentido adecuado de proporción y equilibrio siempre va a ser complicado y requerirá una consulta y un diálogo reflexivos... No hay una fórmula mágica. Pero reconocer que algunas opiniones son ampliamente aceptadas y se basan en un análisis razonable de la evidencia, y que algunas opiniones son opiniones marginales extremas y no se basan en la evidencia, es bastante importante para lograr la neutralidad . — Jimbo Wales, 18 de mayo de 2008
Opiniones y atribución: [Nosotros] sentimos sobre las opiniones fuertes de la misma manera que un museo de historia natural siente sobre los tigres. Los admiramos y queremos que nuestros visitantes vean lo feroces e inteligentes que son, así que los disecamos y los montamos para una inspección cercana . Colocamos todo tipo de carteles cuidadosamente redactados para que la gente los aprecie tanto como nosotros. Pero por mucho que adoremos a los tigres, un tigre vivo suelto en el museo es visto como un problema urgente. — Usuario:William Pietri

Hola, Ssilvers, ¡ bienvenidos a Wikipedia! Soy CTSWyneken . Gracias por sus contribuciones. Espero que les guste el lugar y decidan quedarse. Aquí hay algunos enlaces útiles para los recién llegados:

... Si necesitas ayuda , publica una pregunta en el Help Desk o pregúntame en mi página de discusión . Echa un vistazo a Consensus of standards . Siempre es recomendable leer la página de discusión de un artículo existente antes de realizar cambios importantes en él. Incluso entonces, suelo preguntar si a alguien le molesta que haga un cambio. ¡Muy a menudo lo hacen! ;-)

De nuevo, ¡bienvenido! Y si tienes alguna pregunta, no dudes en preguntar. -- CTSWyneken 19:30, 22 de mayo de 2006 (UTC) ( discusión ) [ responder ]

Notas varias de 2006 y 2007

Hola, Ssilvers, soy Ron Kert de Tampa, Florida (nombre de usuario de Wikipedia "ronkert"). Gracias por tus aportes al artículo " Piano bar " que envié. También soy un cantante aficionado y un "adicto a los pianos bar". Aunque disfruté de "La Boheme" y amo la mayoría de los tipos de música, canto canciones de estos géneros: "Standards" de los años 1920 a 1950, Rock'n'Roll de los años 50 y 60, algunas baladas de rock y rock ligero de los años 70 y 80, blues, un par de melodías de espectáculos, algunas melodías country. Actualmente estoy en una de mis vacaciones bianuales en "piano bar" fuera del estado en el área de DC / norte de Virginia. -- Usuario:Ronkert

Vi tus añadidos y correcciones de texto en Golden Legend . Gracias. Había pensado en añadir información específica sobre el lanzamiento de Hyperion (es la primera grabación completa), pero no estaba seguro de que fuera apropiado. Probablemente haré un trabajo similar en otras composiciones de Sullivan. Shsilver 19:39, 8 de agosto de 2006 (UTC) [ responder ]

Gracias por su atención a Hot Mikado . Ayuda tener otra perspectiva, particularmente desde el punto de vista de los musicales y G&S, y no desde el punto de vista de "¡EY, MI INSTITUTO HIZO ESO!". Gracias de nuevo. QBKooky 18:46, 17 de agosto de 2006 (UTC) [ responder ]

¡Gracias por la lista de canciones de The Mountebanks ! Agregué los nombres de los personajes mientras estaba en eso. Además, hice un ajuste a la plantilla:Gilbert and Sullivan . ¿Te parece bien? Usuario desaparecido 23:09, 25 de agosto de 2006 (UTC)

Malcolm Sargent resultó muy bien. No sabía nada de esa entrevista de 1936. ¿Alguna vez has oído el viejo chiste sobre Sargent? Supuestamente se sube a un taxi. El conductor le pregunta: "¿Adónde?". Sargent dice: "No importa; me quieren en todas partes". Marc Shepherd 13:19, 31 de agosto de 2006 (UTC) [ responder ]

Gracias por su ayuda. En mis libros de música en inglés se utilizan Mazeppa, Maria, Andrei, Kochubey (Kochubey no es un nombre ruso, sino tártaro). ( meladina 16:06, 2 de septiembre de 2006 (UTC)) [ responder ]

Espero trabajar contigo nuevamente en Wikipedia, Willow 10:44, 15 de abril de 2007 (UTC) [ responder ]

¡Gracias por la amable nota de bienvenida! Anoche iba a ver una producción amateur de La princesa Ida en el MIT, así que quería aprender un poco sobre ella. ¡El artículo fue muy útil! Me encanta G&S, pero probablemente haré pequeñas correcciones tipográficas aquí y allá a medida que las encuentre. ¡Gracias de nuevo! Purkowitz 14:04, 11 de mayo de 2007 (UTC) [ responder ]

Gracias por tu esfuerzo y por la información adicional sobre Malfitano . Es una gran cantante y fue triste notar que los escritos existentes sobre ella eran demasiado breves. Sería genial si pudiéramos conseguir algunas fotos de ella. Escribiré a su agente, con suerte podrían proporcionarnos fotos para publicarlas (con permiso por escrito, por supuesto). - Jay 02:28, 1 de junio de 2007 (UTC) [ responder ]

Buen trabajo en la historia de Buddy Holly de ayer/hoy. En cuanto a la versión ampliada de la sinopsis que fue editada severamente hace un tiempo, FUE MUCHO MEJOR. Lamento que la hayan cortado una y otra vez. Debería haber sido simplemente reescrita para evitar citas textuales de sitios web. Sin embargo, no debería haber sido eliminada. Te apoyaré en la defensa contra cualquier intento de arruinar este artículo nuevamente. Smatprt 14:14, 8 de junio de 2007 (UTC) [ responder ]

Tu trabajo sobre Michael Mayer (director) - ¡GUAU! ¡Gracias! Sabía que una vez que la gente se diera cuenta de que esta importante figura teatral no tenía ningún artículo, se solucionaría rápidamente, pero la versión inicial estaba muy desorganizada y es maravilloso ver lo que has hecho con ella de la noche a la mañana.

Buen trabajo. Conozco a varios de estos artistas por la película Topsy Turvy , que he visto al menos media docena de veces. Era necesario incluirlos en Wikipedia. Charivari 02:35, 27 de junio de 2006 (UTC) [ responder ]

¡Felicitaciones! Has llevado esto mucho más lejos de lo que jamás imaginé que llegaría. Marc Shepherd 19:52, 5 de septiembre de 2006 (UTC) [ responder ]

Muchas gracias. De hecho, estoy pensando en escribir algunos artículos sobre algunos de los saboyanos menores, así como sobre un par de los primeros creadores de G&S que realmente deberían estar aquí (Frank Thornton, Fred Sullivan y Selina Dolaro me vienen a la mente). -- AlbertHerring 17:21, 23 de septiembre de 2006 (UTC) [ responder ]

No te agradecí la información adicional sobre el Empire Theatre . ¡Agregué un testimonio sobre tu barnstar! Pero no sé cómo se deciden estas cosas, así que lo dejé como barnstar + bar. Los teatros de Londres han sido una alegría... Kbthompson 18:40, 31 de marzo de 2007 (UTC) [ responder ]

St Georges Theatre - Gracias tardías por eso, ahora casi parece un artículo. Me tomé la libertad de agregar una nota de admiración en tu página principal (un caso de " vi esto y pensé en ti , ¡tengo que esperar otro mes!"). Vi los comentarios recientes en G&S, público difícil. Creo que eso es un poco duro para GA, pero es algo que definitivamente necesita ser corregido para FA.

Me pediste que echara un vistazo al trabajo que se había hecho sobre esto mientras yo estaba fuera. Lo miré cuando regresé y me pareció excelente, ¡pero luego me olvidé de decírtelo!

"El Bob"

¡Gracias por tu aporte! Los errores tipográficos me matarán, para que lo sepas. Odio absolutamente la única imagen disponible de Marshall, y estoy segura de que él también la odiaría; es el traje de mono. Me puse en contacto con el Museo Adirondack para ver si pueden publicar una o dos imágenes bajo licencia GFDL para que yo las use. Me encantaría obtener una imagen similar a la que he visto en mis fuentes de libros, con él sonriendo tontamente mientras posa en las cimas de las montañas con guías de aspecto sucio y exhausto. Así que ya veremos. :) María ( habla con migo ) 20:20, 11 de marzo de 2008 (UTC) [ responder ]

Me pregunto si alguna vez valdría la pena escribir un artículo sobre los estudios de G&S. Ya sabes, cubrir los descubrimientos más importantes, describir la evolución del campo... ¿o es demasiado probable que eso genere problemas? Shoemaker's Holiday ( discusión ) 20:38 25 jun 2008 (UTC) [ responder ]

¡Ajá! Ya lo he sugerido antes. Creo que sería genial. Es un trabajo difícil y requiere acceso a la biblioteca. En el caso de las revistas, puede que incluso tengas que escribir a las distintas sociedades de G&S para conseguir números anteriores o lo que sea. Te ayudaré si puedo, pero no puedo ir a la biblioteca para ello. Creo que algunas de las revistas tienen índices en línea de sus artículos antiguos. Tal vez Stephen Turnbull y Andrew Crowther puedan ayudarte. Mitch Gillett podría ayudarte con GASBAG, y Angie Arnall podría ayudarte con The Gilbert and Sullivan News. Aún más importante es el antiguo Gilbert and Sullivan Journal, que ya no se publica. Los libros son más fáciles y la lista de referencias de Ainger es un buen lugar para empezar. También, consulta esto. El sitio de Crowther enumera varios recursos útiles. ¡Buena suerte! -- Ssilvers (discusión) 20:49 25 jun 2008 (UTC) [ responder ]

Fuentes apropiadas para la recepción crítica de artículos sobre teatro musical

He encontrado un libro que es una recopilación de críticas de obras de teatro de Broadway. Se llama "Opening Night on Broadway: A Critical Quotebook of the Golden Era of the Musical Theatre...". Dado que muchas de las secciones de recepción crítica son bastante simples, pensé que podría añadir citas de las críticas del libro. ¿Constituye un libro así una fuente fiable? Sé que puede resultar difícil encontrar críticas de periódicos en su forma original, y me parece que las citas indirectas son mejores que ninguna cita.

Teatro musical “Integración”

Tienes razón, necesito fuentes. He tenido acceso limitado a la biblioteca durante los últimos meses, pero sí he consultado algunos libros más académicos sobre teatro musical, en particular The Rise and Fall of the Broadway Musical de Mark N. Grant y los análisis de Ethan Mordden de cada década del teatro musical estadounidense. Ambos autores concluyeron que sí, hubo mucho material superficial en Broadway durante las primeras décadas, pero que había señales de desarrollo en varias direcciones:

On Your Toes (1936) al menos colocó al ballet junto al teatro musical, presentando dos ballets extensos. El trabajo estadounidense de Kurt Weill anterior a Oklahoma incluía One Touch of Venus , que nuevamente utilizó un par de ballets que realmente ilustraban el carácter de Venus y su conflicto interno (el ballet "Venus in Ozone Heights"). Weill y Moss Hart colaboraron en Lady in the Dark, que utilizó el psicoanálisis como un medio para ahondar en la mente de la exitosa pero indecisa y románticamente incierta Liza Elliot; casi toda la música del espectáculo ocurre en tres extensos sueños que revelan los miedos y experiencias pasadas de Liza. El hombre para ella resulta ser el que puede completar el leitmotiv que ella no puede terminar por sí misma (la canción es "My Ship", la única canción que ocurre en la "vida real"). "Peggy Ann" (1926) fue un uso aún más temprano de los sueños como revelación del carácter, aunque todavía se incluyeron las convenciones de la comedia musical. "Of Thee I Sing" (1931) tenía una trama satírica vinculada a una banda sonora igualmente mordaz, pero humorística, de los Gershwin. Aunque los personajes pueden considerarse caricaturas, la banda sonora está integrada de una manera no muy distinta a la de Gilbert y Sullivan. Pal Joey retrató personajes centrales duros e inmorales sin sentimentalismo; los números que no son de club nocturno sí funcionan dentro de la trama.

Los autores básicamente concluyeron que, aunque Show Boat y Oklahoma! son hitos importantes en el teatro musical, no surgieron de la nada... MarianKroy (discusión) 04:23 17 ago 2010 (UTC) [ responder ]

¡Hola! Realmente aprecio su diligencia en el seguimiento de la información de Gilbert y Sullivan para WP. Me pregunto si podría reconsiderar la eliminación del enlace externo que conecta la colección de Yale con la página. La Colección Sidney Rose de Gilbert y Sullivan no sólo contiene materiales como partituras y libretos (que de hecho están ampliamente disponibles), sino también una colección inusualmente extensa de material efímero, la mayoría de los cuales se centran en las interpretaciones de Gilbert y Sullivan en los Estados Unidos. Estas interpretaciones están documentadas por carteles, programas, fotografías de producción, críticas y una amplia variedad de otros elementos. Muchos de estos elementos, especialmente los que tienen que ver con las interpretaciones más oscuras, pueden ser difíciles o imposibles de encontrar en otro lugar. -- Saludos cordiales de Tjr36 ( discusión ) 17:38, 15 de septiembre de 2010 (UTC) [ responder ]

Billie Carleton

Hola, gracias por mejorar el artículo sobre Billie Carleton, sin duda se ve mucho mejor. He intentado añadir números de página a las referencias como se me pidió, pero a veces estoy citando el artículo de DNB y no cita una referencia de página, por ejemplo, para el argumento de Kohn de que Carleton murió debido a la toma de depresivos (pero sí llama al argumento "convincente", ¿que tal vez debería haber copiado?) He basado mi artículo en DNB, pero también he leído superficialmente algunos informes contemporáneos en The Times. Hubo algunos debates en el tribunal sobre si Carleton murió debido al "veronal", si era suicida, etc.: no he mencionado esto. Además, no estoy seguro de que De Veulle fuera un travesti. Me imagino que lo era, encajaría bien con sus intereses, pero por lo que recuerdo de The Times, acaban de acusarlo en el tribunal de haberle mostrado a alguien un libro sobre el tema. Lo comprobaré. Por último, hay algunos sitios externos que exploran el caso desde sus diferentes aspectos, analizando las actitudes contemporáneas con respecto al consumo de drogas, la preferencia de género, las ansiedades raciales, etc. ¿Debería incluir un enlace a estos? A veces, los hechos que se citan en ellos difieren ligeramente de los del DNB, que es la fuente que he preferido. RLamb ( discusión ) 12:13 16 ene 2011 (UTC) [ responder ]

Nota: Parece que el polvo se ha asentado mientras dormía, pero creo que debo señalar que advertí específicamente a Ronz [1] que dejara de editar y él simplemente eliminó la advertencia y pareció decir que no comprendo la situación y que no tengo por qué preocuparme. Beeblebrox ( discusión ) 19:03 4 mar 2011 (UTC) [ responder ]
Parece que a Ronz no le gusta que se dejen esas pruebas en su página de discusión. Su modus operandi es difundir la discusión o insistir en colocar la conversación en la página de discusión de un editor contrario para que a la gente que investiga le resulte más difícil unir las piezas y echar la culpa al editor con el que está en disputa haciendo que parezca que está conversando razonablemente con ellos en su página de discusión mientras que al mismo tiempo los provoca y coloca diferencias que apoyan su punto de vista y desacreditan a su oponente. Es sorprendente lo efectivas que son sus tácticas para engañar a los administradores. La sofisticación de esto cuando uno se da cuenta de lo que realmente está sucediendo es preocupante. Sugiero que los administradores se den cuenta para evitar errores como el que se cometió en este caso. Lambanog ( discusión ) 20:03, 4 de marzo de 2011 (UTC) [ responder ]

Nota sobre los cuadros de información

Lista de 11 artículos en los que trabajarán los estudiantes.

En mi opinión, los cuadros de información son redundantes y la misma información se da mejor en formato narrativo en WP:LEAD u otras secciones del artículo en lugar del formato entrecortado del cuadro. Los cuadros hacen que los artículos sean más difíciles de editar, y desalientan incluso el intento de editarlos, para los novatos. También son el blanco frecuente del vandalismo y casi invariablemente contienen varios errores. Ocupan un espacio valioso cerca de la parte superior de un artículo y limitan el tamaño y el diseño de las imágenes cerca de la parte superior del artículo. Finalmente, distraen a los editores de centrarse en el contenido del artículo; en lugar de mejorar el artículo, pasan mucho tiempo trabajando en esta característica cosmética y su extensa codificación y formato. Sólo es mi opinión. -- Ssilvers (discusión) 02:19, 3 de septiembre de 2011 (UTC) [ responder ]

Navidad celestial

Gran comienzo para el artículo. He seguido adelante y he movido la lista de canciones desde el principio a su posición más convencional (nunca debería estar en el principio, siempre tiene su propia sección), y también he convertido a Charts en una sección (simplemente lo pusiste en negrita como título). Creo que he corregido un par de cosas más y he cambiado la fecha del álbum a lo que me indican las versiones MP3 de las canciones. No he añadido información sobre el autor (algunas son simplemente NEway "tradicional") ya que no aparecen en la lista de Allmusic, pero puede que me pierda en otros álbumes navideños y los busque más tarde ("Believe", por ejemplo, se encuentra en la banda sonora de The Polar Express).

¿Embajador en línea del curso de historia de la danza?

¡Hola! Soy profesora de danza e historia de la danza en el Franklin & Marshall College de Pensilvania. Estoy pensando en que mis alumnos de Historia de la Danza, en el semestre de primavera de 2012, contribuyan de alguna manera a las entradas de Wikipedia sobre danza e historia de la danza. No hay nadie en nuestra escuela que sea embajador del campus y, entre los embajadores en línea, nadie tiene una especialidad en danza. Veo que trabajas mucho en teatro, incluido el escenario musical. Por supuesto, el teatro y la danza son artes hermanas. De hecho, en mi universidad, soy parte de un departamento de Teatro, Danza y Cine. Me pregunto si estarías interesada en trabajar con mi clase (unos 14 estudiantes) como nuestra embajadora en línea. ¡Espero tener noticias tuyas pronto!

Grandes secciones de premios

Muchos musicales tienen una enorme sección de "Premios". Un editor ha hecho que estas secciones en docenas de artículos sean aún más grandes y gruesas al cambiar el formato a un formato tabular. Sugiero mover estas grandes secciones de Premios a un artículo separado, como este: Lista de premios y nominaciones para el musical South Pacific. Entonces, podemos dejar solo un párrafo o dos en el artículo mismo, describiendo los premios principales, con una referencia cruzada al nuevo artículo de lista, como este: El violinista en el tejado#Premios . Cuando regreses, avísame si te importaría ayudar a hacer algunos de estos. Espero que tu descanso sea divertido. ¡Saludos! -- Ssilvers (discusión) 6:10 pm, 21 julio 2011, jueves (hace 5 meses, 11 días) (UTC−4)

Creo que un cambio importante en la estructura de los artículos de teatro musical como este (formato tabular) debería haberse discutido con los participantes del proyecto y otros editores interesados ​​antes de realizar dichos cambios.

Embajador en línea, primavera de 2012

¿Cómo te sentirías si trabajaras con el curso de Adrianne Wadewitz en la IUPUI ? Ella es wikipedista, ha sido embajadora del campus y todavía está buscando un embajador en línea porque está muy preocupada por asegurarse de que sus estudiantes tengan el apoyo suficiente. Parece una persona muy comunicativa con la que te gustaría trabajar. JMathewson (WMF) ( discusión ) 21:35 7 feb 2012 (UTC) [ responder ]

George Crabbe

Gracias por tu ayuda con el artículo; especialmente por lo que hiciste con la foto del monumento y la inscripción. El encabezado también se ve mejor. He agregado algo a la sección de respuesta crítica y creo que es lo suficientemente bueno como para que se mantenga como está en relación con lo que podría requerirse para GA. Emily Dickenson es tan diferente que no puedo ver su artículo de FA como ejemplo. Es una poeta mucho mejor, es ampliamente leída y tiene la atención de más académicos de los que se pueden contar. Prefiero comparar el artículo de Crabbe con otro poeta olvidado, Jones Very , cuyo artículo es GA y un poco menos que el de Crabbe. ¿Puedes echar un vistazo a la sección crítica como está ahora y decirme qué piensas de un GAN?

Discusión de categorías enCharla de Wikipedia: Teatro musical WikiProject

Aparición en la página principal: Dan Leno

Esta es una nota para informar a los editores principales de Dan Leno que el artículo aparecerá como artículo destacado de hoy el 21 de junio de 2012. Puede ver la sinopsis de TFA en Wikipedia:Today's featured article/June 21, 2012 . Si prefiere que el artículo aparezca como TFA en una fecha diferente, o que no aparezca en absoluto, pregúntele al director de artículos destacados Raul654  ( discusión  · contribuciones ) o a su delegado Dabomb87  ( discusión  · contribuciones ), o inicie una discusión en Wikipedia discusión:Today's featured article/requests . Si la sinopsis anterior necesita ajustes, puede cambiarla siguiendo las instrucciones en Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions . Si este artículo necesita alguna atención o mantenimiento, sería preferible que eso se pudiera hacer antes de su aparición en la página principal. La sinopsis tal como está ahora es la siguiente:

Fotografía de Dan Leno en la década de 1880

Dan Leno (1860-1904) fue un destacadocomediante de music hall y actor de teatro musical inglés durante la última época victoriana . Quizás fue más conocido, además de su número de music hall, por sus papeles de dama en las pantomimas anuales que fueron populares en el Theatre Royal de Londres , Drury Lane desde 1888 hasta 1904. De joven, fue famoso por su baile con zuecos , y en su adolescencia, se convirtió en la estrella del número de su familia. Como artista solista, se hizo cada vez más popular a finales de la década de 1880 y 1890, cuando era uno de los comediantes mejor pagados del mundo. Desarrolló un número de music hall en el que hablaba de temas mundanos de la vida, mezclado con canciones cómicas y observaciones surrealistas , y creó una serie de personajes en su mayoría de clase trabajadora para ilustrar sus historias. En 1901, todavía en la cima de su carrera, realizó su sketch "Huntsman" para Eduardo VII en Sandringham . El monarca quedó tan impresionado que Leno se hizo conocido públicamente como "el bufón del rey". Leno continuó apareciendo en comedias musicales y en sus propias rutinas de music hall hasta 1902, aunque sufría cada vez más de alcoholismo . Esto, junto con su larga asociación con papeles de dama y comedia de bajo nivel , impidió que lo tomaran en serio como actor dramático. Sufrió una crisis nerviosa a principios de 1903 y fue internado en un manicomio, pero fue dado de alta ese mismo año. Después de un espectáculo más, su salud empeoró y murió a los 43 años.

Sería bueno que este artículo dejara de ser de Start-Class... Estoy más acostumbrado a retocar los bordes de los artículos de Wikipedia que a hacer un trabajo importante (y no tengo experiencia con WP:WPMT ), pero lo intentaré. Sin embargo, no será muy rápido, ya que no tengo mucho tiempo en la computadora y tengo otras llamadas cuando lo tengo... Siempre tengo problemas con Wikipedia, ya que estoy acostumbrado a IMDB, donde el principio predominante es que la información, por trivial que sea, nunca debe eliminarse si se proporciona, ¡así que nunca tengo claro cuánto del material disponible para mí debe eliminarse para fines enciclopédicos!

Jessie BroughtonReferencias

Hola ssilvers, <snip> Creo que lo que puede haber sucedido aquí es que no cité referencias al final de cada oración o después de cada afirmación como lo haría ahora (este es uno de mis artículos anteriores). Por lo tanto, la gente no ha podido saber qué libro de referencia está asociado con qué hechos en el cuerpo principal del artículo y, por lo tanto, ¡agregó más referencias! Tengo la intención de solucionar esto ahora en las próximas semanas y asegurarme de que cada afirmación tenga su propia referencia.

WP:GANnominaciones

Bueno, Hair (musical) es un estándar para WP:GA . Me parece que está cerca del nivel de WP:FA . Es cierto que todas mis nominaciones no alcanzan ese estándar, pero muchas tienen varias características a las que Hair debería aspirar. Las listas de elencos de varias funciones (ver Trip to Bountiful) y las tablas de premios citados. Por supuesto, necesitaré la ayuda de revisores pacientes y/o editores para que cualquiera de estas llegue a GA. Entiendo que su tiempo podría emplearse mejor en otra cosa, pero 4 de estas seis han ganado el Tony a la mejor obra, el Tony al mejor musical, el Pulitzer de drama o el Olivier a la mejor obra.

Pregunta rápida

Hola a todos. Tengo una pregunta rápida de la clase de Historia del Teatro del Brooklyn College... Estoy teniendo problemas con la etiqueta del curso en el artículo que elegí ( Trabajos de amor perdidos ). Ingresé el código, pero la plantilla no aparece en el artículo. ¿Les importaría decirme qué estoy haciendo mal? ¡Muchas gracias! Ashleybirdsell ( discusión ) 00:30 13 oct 2013 (UTC) [ responder ]

Hola, Ashley. El código del banner es correcto, pero lo colocaste en la página incorrecta. Va en la página de discusión del artículo , en lugar de en la página principal del artículo. Lo moví allí para ti y puedes ver que el código funciona correctamente allí. -- Ssilvers (discusión) 19:35 13 oct 2013 (UTC) [ responder ]

Más charlas sobre MTI

Hello again! I'm working now on "sprucing up" the Music Theatre International page on behalf of the company. I thought I would try to start by making a list of MTI's most recognizable titles, with links to their Wikipedia pages. The symbols next to them would refer to whether they have a School Edition publishable (but there would be no link to any MTI page at all). Is this feasible? Just want to make sure I'm not violating anything, thanks! Mikebloom819 (talk) 19:56, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the clarification. Apologies for the inconvenience, we're probably going to be doing some more cosmetic updates to the page (no additional content, don't worry) in the next coming weeks. Thanks again! Mikebloom819 (talk) 13:39, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Life is a Dream

Hi! thanks for your suggestions on my first improvement. I decided to add the details to the facts box on the right where there was already a list of characters. I wanted to ask you something: Salvador Dali made a series of paintings about this play in 1975. That's probably too recent to add it freely to Wikimedia commons, right? As for the plot summary, I'll be working on it to make it better. Thanks! CataVillamarin111 (talk) 05:32, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Musicals

Quick question. If a musical was first performed in 2007, then again in 2013, am i correct in saying it should only have the category 2007 musicals and not both.

Playhouse Theatre

On an entirely different note have you any idea if we have an article on the Playhouse Theatre, 357 West 48th Street, that would of been active in 1981 per this article. I found Playhouse Theatre (New York City) but that was demolished in 1968 and was at 137 West 48th Street. Any ideas or do you know someone who might.Blethering Scot 18:30, 29 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to write an article about it (which is a good idea), you ought to name the new article Jack Lawrence Theatre. Then, in the article, note that it was previously called the Playhouse Theatre. See this IBDB entry. -- Ssilvers (talk) 5:12 pm, Today (UTC−4)

De Cou in Choregos

Hi. I think you're right about the capitalization of De Cou at the beginning of a reference . . . reverts to sentence case, probably. Thanks for catching it. I tried looking for it in the MOS but haven't found it yet. (I did learn, while looking for examples, that the De in Thomas De Quincey always seems to be capitalized, lol, just for your own information). What occurred to me was: how many editors (assuming we're correct) remember to capitalize the De when using a cite template that includes the author's name, especially if the editor is an old francophone like me? --71.163.153.146 (talk) 23:09, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Main Page appearance: Joseph Grimaldi

This is a note to let the main editors of Joseph Grimaldi know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on December 18, 2013. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask Bencherlite (talk · contribs). You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/December 18, 2013. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:

José Grimaldi

Joseph Grimaldi (1778–1837) was an English actor, comedian, dancer, and the Regency era's most successful entertainer. He popularised the role of Clown in the harlequinade that formed part of British pantomimes during the 1800s, and became a key pantomime performer at the Drury Lane, Sadler's Wells and Covent Garden theatres. He first appeared on stage at Drury Lane as "Little Clown" in the pantomime The Triumph of Mirth; or, Harlequin's Wedding, while still a boy. Other successful roles at the theatre followed, but he left in 1806 and took up theatrical residencies at the Covent Garden and Sadler's Wells theatres. As he matured, he began performing as "Clown", for which he created the whiteface make-up design still in use today. The numerous injuries he received as a result of his energetic performances led to a rapid decline in his health, and his early retirement in 1823. He rarely appeared on stage thereafter, and struggled to recapture his earlier success. Living in obscurity during his final years he became an impoverished alcoholic. Grimaldi died at home in Islington, aged 59, having outlived his wife and his actor son Joseph Samuel. (Full article...)

Apology from Jim856796 for making stylistic changes to two articles

Greetings, Ssilvers, this is Jim856796. In late 2011, I edited the Savoy Hotel article, but the pre-conjunction commas were omitted because British English generally omits it. March 2013, I edited the Bernadette Peters article -- which is an US/American subject, but the commas were omitted again, as well as the English-style posessives, though I didn't want her surname to look like a plural form. The MOS says that, "If discussion cannot determine which style to use in an article, defer to the style used by the first major contributor." Sometimes the first major contributor can be persuaded by the legal reasoning about clarity, or probably not. Anyway, Ssilvers, I would like to apologize for making the edits which you had to revert, because I didn't realize that in certain articles, the pre-conjunction comma can only be used sparingly, or not be used at all, so I am sorry for acting like it was mandatory, when in actuality, I don't think it shouldn't be. Jim856796 (talk) 05:51, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No apology necessary. In both the UK and the US, if a conjunction is part of an independent clause or a parenthetical clause, then a comma must precede it - otherwise not. Also, I generally prefer not to use the Oxford (serial) comma. Happy editing! -- Ssilvers (talk) 05:58, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
So, this means all is forgiven? Jim856796 (talk) 06:33, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Of course! Also, if you have any suggestions for these articles, I'm happy to discuss them on the article's Talk page and try to explain any choices that I have made. All the best! -- Ssilvers (talk) 07:31, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is a pretty helpful IP who is beefing up Kinky Boots (musical). I think he has added too much to the lead and he has reverted my reversion of this.

Marie Jansen

Hello again, I've added an article on Marie Jansen, an American musical actress who found some success over the 1880s and 90s. Anyway if you have the time I would appreciate if you could check it out for any errors or need of additions. Regards and Happy New Year. John F. Barlow (talk) 04:46, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again. According to Francis Wilson, Jansen never knew her true birthday. When he first met her in 1884 as a member of the Emily Barton Company, he was eighteen and she claimed to be twenty. It’s probable she shaved a few years off her true age, but erasing fifteen years from the tally would, as Wilson put it, “make her the most perennial youthful woman who ever lived.’’ Carleton wrote in his letter to The Times that it was his recollection that Jansen was around twenty when she played Iolanthe.

Judith Newman and Pamela Paul

Hello! I just saw your comment on the Judith Newman talk page re: Pamela Paul, and I'm so glad you wrote it. PAMELA PAUL is the EDITOR of the New York Times Sunday Book Review! She's not a co-worker! She's Pamela Paul! (Wait. Did I say that yesterday?)

I started editing the article after I read Judith's essay on Wednesday -- I just added refs, removed hype, did some copy fixes -- but stopped (pretty much) after the community took it over. She interviewed me for a story about 10 years ago, and was kind enough to accept my Friend request on Facebook a few years ago. So even though I don't know her, I felt like I should refrain from any substantive changes. Anyway - I'm really proud of the article as it now stands - I think it reflects so well on all of us - thank you so much for the work you've done. You and Moncrief are killing it! Julie JSFarman (talk) 21:46, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Moncrief did the hard work. I just added some odds and ends. But it's obvious that Newman is notable, so I was happy to contribute. BTW, I thought that Newman's article in the NYT was poorly researched, particularly with regard to her statements about paid editors - she obviously did not talk to any really experienced editors here, or they could have explained to her why paid editing is a very bad idea. And, I find it very annoying that journalists like Newman, who have some understanding of our editorial process, and who use Wikipedia constantly, think it's fun to criticize us so broadly, when we get so much right and are putting together one of the greatest free resources in the world. I guess it wouldn't be much fun to write an article saying "Wikipedia is really great, and if you find a mistake, you can point it out, giving a citation to a reliable source, and let editors here fix it." -- Ssilvers (talk) 22:04, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

W. Russell Flint; Princess Ida

... given we have a notable Gently, Gently image, and a much better photograph with Oldham in the article (which we don't currently identify the people in, but easily could), I don't think it's particularly worth keeping, particularly given it cuts off the top of the head. I say it should go; we don't need to use every photograph, and I've been working hard to get a number of Ida illustrations, not just the Flint. Adam Cuerden (talk) 01:30, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to disagree, but I prefer the photo of the three boys. It is much more dynamic, it has a better aspect ratio, and it shows their faces much better. Also, neither of the two women are notable. so if we need to lose one of these, lets lose the quintet. -- Ssilvers (talk) 02:44, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The images in an article should, in my opinion:

At the moment, we have 4 images from the 1920s, which I think is too much - they're taking focus away from the original production photos. I'd like to trim them down a bit, and Gently, Gently seems the obvious one to go. Adam Cuerden (talk) 01:44, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that we want the images to be varied. That's why we don't need more than one or two illustrations by the same illustrator. I disagree that we want to illustrate "as many scenes in the opera" as possible. On the contrary, we want to illustrate as many "important things about the opera" as possible. I also am not sure about your third bullet point. Certainly we want to represent the original production. As I said above, if you think it will help the balance, we could lose the image of the quintet, I think. Or, if you really love Flint's "Gently, Gently"/invasion image, use it instead of one of the other Flints you already have, and I'll yield on the Oldham photo. -- Ssilvers (talk) 02:44, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Need to find some good sources. The trouble is there aren't standard sources (that I know of) on art related to Gilbert and Sullivan, so I think it'll be a library trip and contemporary newspaper binge. Checking some 1908/1909 newspapers should, at least in theory, find reviews. I know Walbrook and Gayden Wren briefly mention the book, but not in enough detail. Offhand, I don't remember it in Stedman. I don't have Crowther's latest book, if you do, could you do a quick check for me? The drawings were finished by 1908, and the book published 1909. Adam Cuerden (talk) 04:23, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, I think the best ones are 1, 2, 5, 6, and 8, with 1, 5, and 6 likely being the most useable. 3, 4 and 7, while not bad by any means, just don't showcase the opera's plot as well. 4 in particular - while a gorgeous painting - is a painting of insignificant background characters. Adam Cuerden (talk) 04:49, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Gilbert's preface

To save myself typing it up: https://archive.org/details/savoyoperaswithi00gilbuoft has the foreword, by the way. I think you'll agree it's a good source for the four operas discussed. Adam Cuerden (talk) 23:50, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I am skeptical of things that authors say about their own works, especially years after the fact. Although they may contain insights, they are often either self-serving or dulled and confused by the passage of the years. Here, you can see Gilbert lying about the reason that Russell did not play Ida. In any event, we certainly don't care about what Gilbert says about Mattie Reinhardt, although this might be of interest in The Princess (play). The rest of what Gilbert writes here seems to be more or less filler. What do you see of interest in it? -- Ssilvers (talk) 00:06, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I would say his statements about it suffering from lack of Sullivan were at least worth quoting, don't you think? And his description of casting everyone as women wouldn't hurt. I think that the author's own statements - when not wildly against common opinion - add a bit of weight. Adam Cuerden (talk) 01:13, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No. I think his statements about The Princess suffering from a lack of Sullivan's music are a) stating the obvious, and b) merely an attempt to say something gracious about his former collaborator. The fact that Gilbert's burlesques, including The Princess (play), had trouser roles, should be described in more detail in The Princess (that is a fairly bare bones article at present). While it is of interest that G&S no longer used trouser roles after Thespis, I do not think that Gilbert's preface explains that adequately. We do explain this in some of our articles on the Gilbert burlesques. See, e.g., La Vivandière (Gilbert). I do think that it is marginally interesting that in The Princess Gilbert says (if you believe him) that he chose "slight" ladies to play the 3 hulking brothers. But, again, that belongs in The Princess, if anywhere. -- Ssilvers (talk) 01:24, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Ssilvers!

I hope this finds you well. The end of last semester was pretty chaotic, and now, finally, I have an opportunity to write and say thank you -- wholeheartedly -– for all of the help, support, and advice you offered my students on the Wikipedia project last semester!

In their reflection papers at the end of the term, my students cited YOU as the key reason why they accomplished what they did. You made all the difference to them, and since I myself am a new member of the Wikipedia community, I am extremely grateful to you as well. I know you provide this guidance out of the goodness of your heart and your intense belief in the value of free knowledge, and so gratitude is (probably) the only renumeration you receive for your vast investments of time and energy. Please know that you have my deep gratitude!

I have the same eight students as in the fall, and many are quite excited to have another opportunity to work on a Wikipedia article. Of course, we would be thrilled if you are interested in serving as the Online Ambassador for the course again – but I understand if you need to share your talents with others in the next few months. Whatever you decide, I thank you sincerely for everything you offered us last fall! All best wishes, Amy E Hughes (talk) 15:59, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ssilvers. Just catching-up with messages. Thanks for the tip. I actually only added one reference to the list - the Van Stratten web page link. The other references were already in the article, I tidied them up for consistent style. I too was wondering where in the article they were used... the original author's work may have been edited out (not by me!) so there is no obvious reference connection.

question re: Guggenheim

and your edit here. I don't see anything wrong with that info. It has been reported in a reliable secondary source: Guadalajara (which also has its own article) and Abu Dhabi. Was there another issue you had with the content? Happy to revisit it, but I think the content should be in the article. Thanks! StarM 03:46, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, a paragraph called "cancelled projects" begs the question: Why do we care about this cancelled project? The institution had a project and did not proceed with it; this is par for the course of any large institution – they do not proceed with all of their proposed projects. It seems doubtful that this content is of encyclopedic interest (Note that the article already says: "" Other projects in Rio de Janeiro, Vilnius, Salzburg, Guadalajara and Taichung were considered but not completed."). On the face of it, it seems gratuitous to bring up this old issue, unless it has an important bearing on the institution as it exists. For example, if the project caused the expenditure of tens of millions of dollars and caused the museum to have a financial crisis, or if it caused huge turmoil at the institution, like the resignation of multiple Board members, or something like that, perhaps our readers need to know about it. But just to say that they had a proposal, they had designs drawn up, they delayed the start of the project and ultimately abandoned it, and the project "would have been" a big deal ... so what? It wasn't built, and it isn't a big deal. If the point of the edit is to put forward some kind of legitimate and important criticism of the institution, what is that criticism? -- Ssilvers (talk) 04:10, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think it begs a different question about whether this article should be about the Foundation or the NYC museum(s) or both. I'd missed the other reference to Guadalajara, so I think that's fine. I think the Abu Dhabi project is notable for the challenges a major museum (or two if you count the Louvre) are going through in a major new market. The Louvre and Guggenheim are having interesting issues there. There's significant coverage that makes it notable and large enough for an article (Guggenheim Abu Dhabi). Would you have an objection to a see also that includes these two? Maybe move the Other projects.... content there? StarM 01:49, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I don't understand your last two questions. Could you clarify? which two? move where? -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:36, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe near the bottom, similar to a see also, a list of "current and former planned museum sites" and include Guadalajara (with link if it survives AfD), Abu Dhabi, Taichung, etc. that you referenced above? Seems a way of recognizing them without giving them undue attention? StarM 03:08, 19 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think the narrative sentence that is already there is good the way it is. I would not want to add a list. -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:42, 19 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

re Jenny Lind

Hi Ssilvers. Say, regarding this, my take on stuff like this is:

  1. It's very likely to be true. It would be very unsurprising if there was a statue of Jenny Lind in Stockholm; in fact, it might be more surprising if there isn't.
  2. It's not the sort of thing that a vandal would write, probably.
  3. It's possible the person got it wrong, but of all the things that people are likely to just be mistaken about, this doesn't seem to be to be the the sort of thing a person is particularly more likely to be mistaken about than anything else.
  4. If there is a statue of Jenny Lind in Stockholm it ought be fairly easy to demonstrate this, since statues are large and people notice them. So it's not a really esoteric piece of information that it might be very hard to find find refs for and we'll probably never find out if it's true or not.

As a matter of fact, there is a statue of Jenny Lind in Stockholm, so I restored the material with refs. However, of all the things that need to be ref'd here, I didn't see that as particularly pressing. That section is quite peppered with refs, but even so these assertions are unref'd: "The 1996 and 2006 issues of the Swedish 50-krona banknote bear a portrait of Lind on the front" and "In 1941 Ilse Werner starred as Lind in the German-language film Schwedische Nachtigall" and "objects... named for Lind [include] the USS Nightingale" and "She has been honoured since 1948 by the Barnum Festival, which takes place each June and July in Bridgeport, Connecticut" and some others.

Certainly if we were to take the approach "All things that are not ref'd, that are less likely to be true than 'there is a statue of Jenny Lind in Stockholm', must be removed" we would certainly have to remove a lot of our material, more than 75% I'd guess. So my approach to stuff like this which is probably true and not contentious and not really especially important to get right (and if I don't want to get the refs myself) is to at most tag it and wait a few years and see if someone ref's it. I don't see the advantage of deleting stuff like this. Herostratus (talk) 09:44, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Hero. I am not sure that this piece of trivia is really of encyclopedic interest in the article. I take the approach that if you want to ADD stuff, it should be referenced, although I also agree with your approach to tag new material that is likely true, and I would have done so if I had been convinced by the original edit that this factoid was of importance. Nevertheless, thanks for doing the research -- since the information is now referenced, I have less of an objection to it, although your referencing style is inconsistent with the referencing style used throughout the article (see WP:CITEVAR). -- Ssilvers (talk) 16:05, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Right, if it's trivial that's a different kettle of fish. OK, I get it, if something is (borderline) trivial and it's unref'd that's a fair reason to dump it. That's reasonable.
Huh, had never heard of WP:CITEVAR. I had always thought that using the {{cite}} templates was the correct way and other ways were just wrong, rather than just an equally valid alternative. WP:CITEVAR specifically says that putting the body of the refs inline in the article is as valid as using <ref> tags, and implies that bare URLs are as valid as providing information about the ref (publication, date, title, etc). Hmmm. Using parenthetical style on the first two paras of the section gives us:
Under the name "Jenny Lind-Goldschmidt", she is commemorated in Poets' Corner, Westminster Abbey, London. Among those present at the memorial's unveiling ceremony on 20 April 1894 were Goldschmidt, members of the Royal Family, Sullivan, Sir George Grove and representatives of some of the charities supported by Lind.("Jenny Lind Memorial", The Times, 21 April 1894, p. 14) There is also a plaque commemorating Lind in The Boltons, Kensington, London(The plaque can be seen here) and a Blue Plaque at 189 Old Brompton Road, London, SW7, which was erected in 1909.("Blue Plaques". English Heritage, accessed 16 June 2011)
Lind has been commemorated in music, on screen, and even on banknotes. Both the 1996 and 2006 issues of the Swedish 50-krona banknote bear a portrait of Lind on the front. Many artistic works have honoured or featured her. Anton Wallerstein composed the "Jenny Lind Polka" around 1850.("Jenny Lind Polka", British Library integrated catalogue, accessed 16 June 2011) In the 1930 Hollywood film A Lady's Morals, Grace Moore starred as Lind, with Wallace Beery as Barnum.(The New York Times, "A Lady's Morals a.k.a Jenny Lind" and Mordant Hall, "The Swedish Nightingale," The New York Times, 8 November 1930.) In 1941 Ilse Werner starred as Lind in the German-language film Schwedische Nachtigall, with Joachim Gottschalk as Hans Christian Andersen. In 2001, a semi-biographical film about Andersen featured Flora Montgomery as Lind. In January 2005, Elvis Costello announced that he was writing an opera about her, called The Secret Arias with some lyrics by Andersen.(Watson, Joanne. "The Secret Arias, Opera House, Copenhagen", The Independent, 11 October 2005) A 2010 BBC television documentary "Chopin – The Women Behind the Music" includes discussion of Chopin's last years, during which Lind "so affected" the composer.(Rhodes, James. "Chopin – The Women Behind The Music", BBC Four, BBC Programme info, 15 October 2010)
Nah. That doesn't work for me, since it makes the article very difficult to read, and if I find that sort of thing, I'm going to change it and I can't do that but I'm adding a ref I'm certainly not going to put it inline like that. So it's a silly rule. Herostratus (talk) 19:40, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Your comments raise a couple of points. First, you seem to be confusing "inline" citations with parenthetical cites (WP:PAREN), which neither you nor I use. You and I both use ref tags, as do most experienced editors here. Secondly, it is clear that the {{cite}} templates are not required. Some editors like them, because they provide a checklist for what information might go in a citation. Note that, for book sources, the article does use the {{cite books}} template in the Sources and Further Reading sections at the bottom, and uses short-form references to books in the text above, as is done in many, if not most WP:Featured Articles. But the other refs do not use the templates, and simply provide the relevant information per WP:CITE, using the following format: Author, Title (linked to url where available), Publisher, Date, Accessdate. Thirdly, WP:CITEVAR says simply that: Editors should not attempt to change an article's established citation style merely on the grounds of personal preference ... or without first seeking consensus for the change. If the article you are editing is already using a particular citation style, you should follow it; if you believe it is inappropriate for the needs of the article, seek consensus for a change on the talk page ... [U]nless there is consensus to change, defer to the style used by the first major contributor....
To be avoided:
  • ... Adding citation templates to an article that already uses a consistent system without templates.... -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:31, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, OK. Hunh. Was not familiar with all that stuff. I'd always figured that the {{cite}} templates were useful for machine-parsing the data in the ref which has various virtues including error-catching (won't let you accidentally omit a title, use an illegal ISBN number, and so forth), and for that reason superior. Reading thru it's clear that that that's not true, and pretty much any format you like is OK as long as you include the needed info.
Since it's a lot easier to just write a text string and we don't have a preference, I might stop using the {{cite}} templates in new articles. I'm used to doing it though so maybe not.
There is a problem in that if you're adding the same citation to several articles you'd have to check the format used in each article and format them differently, depending. It's not clear to me why citations in an article have to use the same format. I don't see much gain and it sort of looks to me like pettifogging hobgoblinery (which you do see from time to time), so I'm not going to worry about it too much. I will avoid changing existing refs I come across though, and thanks for the heads-up on that. Herostratus (talk) 13:20, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Tarzan (musical)

Both the article and infobox list lots of regional productions. Not sure what to do -- am alerting you, MarnetteD, and maybe another. Please take any necessary action, if you would. Thanks. :) Softlavender (talk) 08:09, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the fixes!! Thanks for putting in time for that. I think one problem with the cast album infobox is that it's pushing down the subsequent header and creating a lot of white space (at least on my screen). I don't know what the Musical Theatre style guide policy is on album infoboxes within musical articles. One solution I came up with on the film The Departed was to nix the image of the album cover (which by the way in Tarzan's case is exactly the same as the poster, so it's redundant already!). Might you try that? Or I can do it later when I have a moment. Thanks again, good to see you. :) Softlavender (talk) 21:41, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Nearer, My God, to Thee"

Are you sure that Lowell Mason's tune BETHANY has yet to make such serious inroads into the British repertoire as to threaten the indigenous British tunes? Compare, in reverse, the way in which—on "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah/Redeemer"—CWM RHONDDA has virtually driven ZION out of American churches. Rammer (talk) 18:37, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This statement is supported by a source from 1898 (a long time ago):

In the United Kingdom, the hymn is usually associated with the 1861 hymn tune "Horbury" by John Bacchus Dykes, named for a village near Wakefield, England, where Dykes had found "peace and comfort". -- Rammer (talk) 05:38, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have a more recent source that states which tune is the most popular in Britain in recent decades? -- Ssilvers (talk) 06:07, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ian Bradley in the Daily Telegraph Book of Hymns as of 2006 indicates HORBURY as the dominant tune in the U.K. (with the others in the WP article as alternatives) and BETHANY as the sole tune in the U.S., but I will try to do more checking on the British situation with an informed source on the scene. Rammer (talk) 23:16, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. What page does he say that on? -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:35, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Bradley, Ian (2006). Daily Telegraph book of hymns. London: Bloomsbury Academic. p. 294. ISBN-10 = 0826482821, ISBN-13 = 978-0826482822. That's the paperback edition. The hardbound edition was published in 2005. Here's a quotation from Bradley on p. 294:
Perhaps the best-known tune for the hymn, at least in Britain, is Horbury, which John Bacchus Dykes (1823-76) wrote for the first edition of Hymns Ancient and Modern in 1861. He named it after the town in Yorkshire which he had visited two years earlier to make his first confession. In the USA the tune most often used has been Bethany, which was composed in 1856 by Dr Lowell Mason (1792-1872), a bank clerk from Savannah who founded the Boston Academy of Music.

Harry Warren

I'm not quite following your deletion of of the songs "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" and "Serenade in Blue" from the lead in the Harry Warren bio along with the comment "These don't belong here." Why not? While the lead shouldn't list everything that Warren wrote, I don't it was "out of control" as I left it. By the way, The New York Times listed both of those songs, among others, in its lead of Warren's obituary: [3]. (Posted by User:Badmintonhist on April 17, 2014)

Mabel Love/Robert Loraine

When it's all said and done that's more than likely the scenario. When creating the Robert Loraine on wikipedia, sources kept mentioning 'Mabel Love'. There was no proof he was married to her but he was obviously 'involved' with her. Since the Wikipedia mentioned Love had a daughter called 'Mary Loraine'(even the surname spelling is the same as Robert's) but did not mention the father, then it's only logical, though, speculative that she had had a child by Loraine but wasn't married to him. It's not the kind thing that's bandied about with Victorian/Edwardian actresses trying to make a living. But out-of-wedlock births were common amongst actresses in the Victorian era; ie Lillie Langtry, Sarah Bernhardt. But since you've mentioned it I want to look into it. Can't promise I'll find more of an answer, but I'll let you know. Koplimek (talk) 15:27, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ssilvers, this in-depth facebook bio on Robert Loraine reveals he was not the father of Mabel's daughter. Mabel gave birth to Mary in 1914 and when Mary married in 1948, it was to a man named Anthony Loraine. A coincidence in names but they were not related. You can read the info that was uncovered by the online writer at the bottom of the page[written in italics].

Flying With the Larks , - Koplimek (talk) 17:20, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ssilvers: I think the Facebook poster did his/her research accurately but you're correct, it is a blog of sorts. While I think its a reliable source, a WP:RS notice would be helpful but still a definite old theatre book like Burns Mantle or John Parker type publication would prove the issue. Its such a coincidence that Mabel would be involved with Robert Loraine then her daughter would marry a man named Loraine. Going over WW1 military death and records Loraine was a common name in the UK. But thanks for alerting me and Ill continue to look into Mabel, Robert and her daughter.

Regarding Producer's Tony Awards

Thanks so much for your welcome! I've seen your edits everywhere, you rock. I did have a question, which is really quite a minor semantics issue that's actually less Wikipedia related and more Broadway related, but it bothered me a lot: how would you phrase the situation where the producers of the production receive the Tony for Best Musical/Play/Revival on behalf of the show? (or is it on behalf of themselves? I don't really know... does that replace the Best Producer award or does that concept just not exist anymore since the producers' roles have shifted?)

I ran into this problem while trying to flesh out and format the page I recently added to WP:MT, Brandon Victor Dixon, for whom his Tony win is one of his most notable attributes. I checked Hal Prince, Robert Fryer, and George Abbott (my idol) because they were the first producers of Tony Award winning shows I could think of, and none of their articles reference it in the same way. Also, they all have more notable content and have Tonys for directing and whatnot. So I just wrote what sounded best to me, but I'm not sure if my phrasing is accurate. Also, does that denote that I should put his page into the Tony Award winners category? Which category would be appropriate in this case, if any? On a side not, should the term "co-producer" be used to add specificity or does that just make the meaning ambiguous? Don't feel like you have to answer all of these, I just want to make sure there isn't some precedent determined by the Musical Theatre WikiProject that I was unaware of.

Sorry to be so long winded, but I am nothing if not thorough and obsessed with uniformity in semantics and formatting! Thanks in advance! ElfLady64 (talk) 23:10, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Museum of the History of Polish Jews

I am afraid your change was incorrect, or at least premature "Polin" was added by the museum itself in Septemeber 2014 for marketing and historical reasons, but from legal point of view the name of the Museum has been the same since it was founded – Museum of the History of the Polish Jews. Nothing has changed in the official register, which you can check yourself on the website of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage (see #2, last udate 15th December, 2014), responsible for the Register of Cultural Institutions in Poland, also a museum's co-founder. Also the name in the postal address remained the same for the time being. We could expect that this change will take place in the future, but this the the legal status now. Boston9 (talk) 23:48, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree – the "legal" name does not control the article name. In English, the museum now calls itself POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews. So, that is the correct name of the article in the English Wikipedia, per WP:NAME. In the Polish Wikipedia, it can use the official Polish name on the register if you prefer. -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:29, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your reversion of my edit to "Clifford Grey"

Greetings and felicitations. I noticed that you effectively reverted my edit to the Clifford Grey article. I added my comment of "[sic?]" to indicate that the spelling "sub-genre" was likely in the original, though due to the paywall of the source, I am unable to confirm that. The correct spelling is "subgenre", without a hyphen, space, or accent on the "E" (all of which I've seen used). Would you please be so kind as to revert your edit?—DocWatson42 (talk) 07:10, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I do not believe that the hyphen is an error that justifies the use of "sic". Some mainstream newspapers use it. See, for example this. -- Ssilvers (talk) 16:03, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Althorp

Hi. I was wondering if you could give this a read and copyedit. I'd normally ask User:Eric Corbett, but seeing the great job you did with Barrymore. It's really been researched as well as possible I think, it's comprehensive enough for FA but I think the prose needs a fair bit of work before it's ready for FAC. The history was quite difficult given that the book on Althorp itself lacks a detailed history in order and most other bits were gleaned from various sources. The history section I think might be the weakest because of this, there was a fair bit of material in the book on its collection/rooms etc. The lede needs a trim I think, feel free to edit it! I definitely think it would be worth promoting, it sort of represents the heart of British aristocracy doesn't it? ♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:49, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'll add "The current building dates to 1688" to the lede. I do cover that in the architecture section, but there's not really many sources I can find which really discuss Althorp externally architecturally. Even Charles Spencer admitted it is bland and unremarkable and chose to focus on the interior. I can only go with the sources which exist. Presumably an original house was built around 1508 and replaced in 1688 but I can't find any mention of the original house in sources.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:50, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There must be architectural records. Perhaps info is available at, say, the county historical society or local library. -- Ssilvers (talk) 22:35, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
[Re: Duke of Marlboro and split of family prior to John Spencer]: Thanks, good point, I'll have to look into that one. A pity you can't continue though as the coverage of its rooms and pieces is its strongest asset I think.♦ Dr. Blofeld 22:22, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Good luck! -- Ssilvers (talk) 22:35, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Of course, don't want it to look like OR but until there's proof of an earlier house and demolition then it'll have to do, or should I just not say anything to avoid it looking like original research for the time being? It was something actually which struck me as odd when reading the Spencer book and researching it, very little on the 16th century background except that some trees were planted during the Elizabethan years for security purposes! I'd imagine Northampton library or the British Library might have records, perhaps Tim could find something next time he's there. My feeling was that even the current building needs a bit more on its exterior structure, even if bland, but most sources gush about its possessions and tend to exclude its architecture.♦ Dr. Blofeld 23:10, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

[left] Under "Etymology" you have: "A manor existed at Althorp in medieval times." So, you start with the proposition that there was a house there in 1086. Then:

Get thee to the historical society and/or local library (or at least call them)! :D -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:29, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, well spotted, but remember that Althorp was more than just a country house, it was a village too, so when the Spencers bought the property in 1508 it would have been the land I think and then would have built a house. Obviously they didn't go 180 years year living in a tent :-) But something on the original house would be good of course!♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:36, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

colwidth

Answering your edit summary at The Merry Widow: adding the parameter |colwidth= when using the template {{reflist}} doesn't make any difference to any browser.

Jenny Lind

So I'm quite interested to hear why the infobox is redundant in this article. Perhaps you'd like to elucidate? Surely as a biography it should have an infobox, no? This is Paul (talk) 23:43, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No. Wikipedia articles, including biographies, do not need infoboxes. Infoboxes should only be included where they are helpful, for example in sports or political bios. See WP:INFOBOXUSE and WP:DISINFOBOX. If the infobox contains only information that is more clearly or precisely stated in the Lead and elsewhere in the article, it is often harmful, because it often emphasizes material that is not the most important information about the person, and yet it is shoved in the reader's face at the top of the article as if it were more important than other information. Plus, the boxes tend to accumulate unnoticed errors and interfere with Lead images, among other problems. Obviously, there are WP editors who love infoboxes, but I would argue that they have grown used to them and have not really thought about what impact they have on the effectiveness of the article for the vast majority of readers who are not Wikipedians. All the best, -- Ssilvers (talk) 01:06, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the explanation. Must confess I hadn't thought of the impact on non-WP readers looking at the page, but if I decide to work on this i'll definitely bear it in mind. This is Paul (talk) 14:49, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jennie McNulty (new edits)

Hi Ssilvers, I can see that you have done a lot of good additional work on the Jennie McNulty article. I haven’t been able to locate a date of birth or death for Mrs. Paulet either. I am forwarding my other research below in the hopes you may find it of some use during any of your future efforts to improve the Jennie McNulty article. I am curious, however, why you undid the interloping edit adding “(fl.c. 1895)” (flourished circa 1895)? The edit seems appropriate here. As I’m sure you are already aware, “fl. c.” is used standardly when both a biographical subject’s date of birth and a date of death are unknown. See Wikipedia articles Tadhg Olltach Ó an Cháinte, “fl. c. 1601”, Atticus (philosopher) “fl. c. 175)”, Samuel Watson (horologist), “fl. c. 1687 …”, Khakheperresenb “(fl. c. 1900 BC)”, Jeff Howell "… (fl. c. 1990)” and etc. I have used the abbreviation myself in one of my articles. Of course, unlike with the edit which you undid, there should be a space between “fl.” and “c.” Just curious.Albiet (talk)Albiet

Hi. I'm moving the info to the Jennie McNulty talk page. I am not persuaded that "fl. c." is appropriate on Wikipedia articles. All of the ones you mention are obscure, so I suspect that they have simply been overlooked, and none are WP:Featured Articles. Have you seen any guideline that says that this is appropriate on WP articles? It seems strange and unhelpful to me, and also is redundant, since we state, in the Lead, that her performances were around the end of the 19th century. -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:47, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Ssilvers, I thought that you might have considered "fl. c." redundant. I was just curious. I don't know about its acceptance in Wikipedia articles, but the abbreviated L. floruit (E. flourished) has been used standardly in print references, such as biographical dictionaries, for centuries. There is a Wikipedia article on subject. See article Floruit in Category:Latin words and phrases. Your best judgement. Again, I was just curious about your reasoning because you seem to be a very knowledgeable editor. Thanks for the answer. Best regardsAlbiet (talk)Albiet

Hi Ssilvers, In June 2013, you asked me to review South Pacific. I declined, citing a general weariness with reviewing. If you asked today for something similar, I'd probably say "yes". I've always enjoyed your work. Finetooth (talk) 20:34, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Eileen Sharp

Thank you for editing the article about my grandmother Eileen Sharp kindly started by Jack1956 :) I have a few excellent images from the Victoria&Albert Museum (playing the Fairy Queen in Iolanthe) would you be happy for me to try and post these or I could send them along to you if you advise how best I should do it. I love to use Wikipedia as a resource but am very unfamiliar with contributing so apologies if I am not getting the method quite right. There were also some fascinating illustrations of her which may be of interest, by the Swedish satirist Einar Nerman (best known for his portraits of Mae West and Ivor Novello). I'm not sure how you would source those but again I do have copies. Thank you Ilovevinyl (talk) 20:52, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

YouTube view counts rounding

I noticed that you'd edited the Chandelier article so the view count was to the nearest 100m, and I'm wondering about doing a similar thing more generally.

I have probably been the most active updater of YouTube view counts across Wikipedia over the past twelve months. At the beginning of that time, only two videos had over a billion views and most counts (including these two videos) were rounded to the nearest 10 million. E.g. for Chandelier: 'the music video has received over 770 million views on YouTube, making it the twenty-first most viewed video of all time'. I have standardised it across all articles and usually kept it so that the top thirty music videos (i.e. the ones in List of most viewed YouTube videos) have a similarly phrased line in it, and updated it whenever the next 10 million views or change in ranking is reached. For an video like Chandelier, that corresponds to roughly a weekly update, though some would be every couple of days and some more like annually.

Now, fourteen videos have over a billion views with more to come, and I'm wondering if it's best to start rounding to two significant figures (e.g. 'over 1.2 billion views') rather than to the ten million. Or even to round to the hundred million generally. I agree that 'over 1.01 billion views' looks a little desperate, but think 'over 1.43 billion views' is a little less so.

The downside to rolling this out across all the articles is that lots of edits will be reversed by those who had got used to the old way. Or I can just keep it as 10m - when Chandelier reaches about 1.08 billion it won't look so weird.

Wikipedia's rounding policy has nothing specific to say on this - seems like it's a matter of taste. What do you think?

GLAM/Pritzker and World War I music

Over at Wikipedia:GLAM/Pritzker, we are working on articles on World War I music as the Museum and Library recently received the World War I Hunter Collection which contains numerous sheet music scores. The Girl Behind the Gun (musical) currently redirects to Kissing Time which is an expanded version of the American musical from 1918.

Hair deletion

Hi Ssilvers. I bow in your general direction for being a contributor without peer to Wikipedia. I note that you deleted an addition I made yesterday to the Hair (Musical) page pertaining to a recent run of Hair at Pace U in NYC. While I agree in principle that there have been thousands of productions staged, this was notable in that James Rado was directly involved in the production. Saheem Ali, the director, is also a recognized up and coming director with an impressive resume. The actors are pre-professionals and embarking on their careers. Having their names in a recognized source helps give them some "digital cred" when they are Googled. I have no interest in getting into an edit war, but on balance, I think the inclusion has merit and is interesting, if only to highlight Rado's continued contributions to the show, as well as the other reasons cited. Please re-consider your deletion. Thanks! 151.145.142.14 (talk) 19:36, 26 April 2016 (UTC)Martin[reply]

Hello, User:151.145.142.14. There have been thousands of long-running professional productions of Hair in dozens of countries with major productions employing numerous blue-linked creatives, actors and designers. Sorry, but I am not at all persuaded that Rado's dropping in on this short-lived semi-pro production makes it notable. See WP:BALASPS. Wikipedia is not a place to promote or advertise things; it is an encyclopedia that describes the most notable things that have happened in the world. See WP:PROMO. If you still disagree, you need to open a discussion on the article's Talk page, so that other users can participate in the discussion. -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:50, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

William Terriss

I thank you for your help - it is hard for me to find information around, for instance I do not know if this is the best way to contact someone - I'd like help with the following: the reason I "tried" to include his [Terriss] first remunerated engagement was because of the following anecdote that I found interesting:

"In 1868 he obtained at the Prince of Wales Theatre, Birmingham, his first remunerated engagement (not a very lucrative one, I8j. per week) as "Chouser" in The Flying Scud.

In this he had a most important speech to deliver, which, in his nervousness, he forgot. He managed to blurt out, "Lady Woodbee has come to town"; and when told by a fellow-actor to go on with his part, he said, "and the rest," and retreated. From that day he was known among his comrades by the sobriquet, "The Rest." As you can see I am so new and still navigating the help pages - please help me if you can. 21:13, 12 October 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by GinnevraDubois (talk • contribs) GinnevraDubois (talk) 22:59, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I did not add the source because my question was about adding quotes - I already posted the reference book (the Life of William Terriss by Smythe, page 31) - I am still not sure where should I post my questions. And I used the ~ signs before but apparently they did not show my signature. Thanks again. GinnevraDubois (talk) 22:59, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, GinnevraDubois. You could say: According to Terriss's biographer Arthur Smythe, Terriss was so nervous that he forgot an important speech. "He managed to blurt out, 'Lady Woodbee has come to town'; and when told by a fellow-actor to go on with his part, he said, 'and the rest'". He was henceforth nicknamed "The Rest". But: (1) I am doubtful that Smythe is correct. All the sources I have seen say that Terriss was known as "Breezy Bill". (2) All actors have a story very much like this. I would leave it out. -- Ssilvers (talk) 00:34, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nearer, my God, to thee

Hi, I noticed that you deleted my comment about the use of this music in the Soviet cinema. I am not sure what links I should provide, as all possible links will be in Russian, not in English. The best proof would be probably the film itself: you can hear the song at the 32nd minute. Regards, --Dmitri Lytov (talk) 00:45, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

User:Dmitri Lytov, you wrote: "In 1964 the melody was used in a Soviet feature movie The Chairman, where it is performed by paupers feigning blindness. Although anti-religious propaganda was quite common for the whole Soviet period, the use of a modern foreign religious melody translated for this occasion was an act of bravery of the film director." You have raised at least three issues. 1: If the whole song, or a very substantial part of it is sung (and not just a brief snippet), and there is a Russian-language review that states clearly that the song is sung in the film, then you may cite the Russian review. 2: You imply that the *purpose* for the use of the song in the film is pro-religious. What is your source to support that implication -- or, if that is not what you mean, then what do you mean? 3: You state that including the song is an act of bravery by the film's director (in 1964). What is your source for that assertion? Every fact that you allege must be supported. Please read our two relevant policies: WP:OR and WP:V.

Well since you think the American Theater Hall of Fame is so un-important, you better nominate its page for deletion and remove it from everyone elses' pages as well. Wikipedia has a category just for its members, so you should probably delete that also. HesioneHushabye (talk)
You should read WP:LEAD. Also, check out WP:UNDUE. Tony and Olivier Awards, Oscars, Emmys, Grammys, Pulitzers, and Nobel Prizes are "important and prestigious". This "award" is not. I am not sure if this organization is really of encyclopedic notability. It might be. But that does not mean that the fact that it has "inducted" someone is of note on their article. For a barely notable person it might be, and also possibly for the original inductees, but for major names, it is not. One should not have an "all or nothing at all" attitude here on Wikipedia. Judgment and balance are needed. All the best, -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:54, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Park Theatre

Good catch on my Park Theatre link error in the Julia Stewart (actress) article. The only other option would be a theatre known as 'The Park' (Broadway & 59th St.); however, it was known as 'Majestic' until 1911. [5] Unfortunately, the source I added to the article was published too soon (1880). I only ventured down this rabbit hole attempting to track down the "Julia Stuart" in Saved from the Titanic. I've already spent more time on this than available to me; hopefully, you can do something (or not). 2606:A000:4C0C:E200:51F3:8BF2:45BE:D2A4 (talk) 23:04, 2 March 2017 (UTC) -P.s.: this is a dynamic IP, which will change on next logon; please don't bother responding on that talk page[reply]

It can't be that Park Theatre, which was built later. I wouldn't worry about it. Theatres were named and renamed frequently, and the theatre district was still moving uptown at that point. It is likely that that theatre no longer exists. Someday, someone will do an article on Brother Sam, and then they might track down the theatre.

Frankie Grande

Hi Ssilvers, hope you're doing well. I think you may have misunderstood the spirit of my edit on Frankie Grande which you reverted. The see also edit was not to indicate that Grande was somehow active in the NYC gay scene (I don't know how many notable people are), but rather that he is an openly gay New Yorker (a prominent fact) who has contributed notably to the overall NYC scene (Style Code Live originates in NYC) and to overall U.S. culture. Would it be more acceptable to you to section-direct the see also link to LGBT culture in New York City#Self-identifying LGBTQ New Yorkers (piping it of course, for cosmetic appearance, i.e., LGBT culture in New York City)? Best, Castncoot (talk) 12:38, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I really don't think it's of encyclopedic value; in fact, I think it is detrimental. Probably 90% of male Broadway actors identify as gay. There must be thousands of notable people who are LGBTQ New Yorkers, but what makes them particularly relevant to LGBTQ "culture" in NYC? The fact that his style show is in NY and that he is an actor/host are all facts that are already amply covered in the article and categories. Adding a "see also" notation to the list article seems pointless and just added clutter. -- Ssilvers (talk) 13:50, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hay Fever

Firstly, the citations came from a news database, so it's not possible to provide the page numbers, but that doesn't make the citations any less acceptable — while page numbers should be provided when possible, they are not mandatory conditions that a citation has to meet to be valid in the first place: the mandatory conditions are title, publication name and date, and while additional information is encouraged whenever possible those three pieces of information are all that must be provided for a citation to be acceptable. And Wikipedia has no requirement to provide a direct URL to a web-published version of the content, either — that usually isn't even possible for sources that are over ten years old. Secondly, although it was mounted by real producers, the mere fact that notable newspapers deemed it newsworthy automatically means its notability is not up for any debate. Bearcat (talk) 05:36, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. If you got this from the internet, you need to disclose the url so that people can verify it. Also, the fact that two newspapers mentioned the production does not make it noteworthy. Newspapers often mention high school productions! -- Ssilvers (talk) 06:57, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia does not have a requirement that all sources require URLs by which readers can directly verify the content. We are allowed to cite print-only sources, such as books, paper or microfilm or OCR database copies of magazines or newspapers, and other sources which do not have web URLs to provide. We require that a source be reliable, but we are not restricted to web-published sources. And secondly, while it's true that local newspapers mention high school productions, the National Post is not a local newspaper — it's a national newspaper, which only covers news deemed to be of national interest and does not cover purely local-interest news in any community, such as high school theatre or high school sports or high school anything. Bearcat (talk) 16:51, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
IF a source does have, a url, however, you should provide it. You said that you found these sources on the web, so please tell us where. -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:18, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That's not what I said; I said I retrieved the sources from a subscription news database at the library. Bearcat (talk) 15:32, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
OK, at the library. I've sent a message to retired user Tim riley, who is a Noel Coward expert and asked him whether he thinks to production was of encyclopedic importance.

BTW, did the library database give author name or page number information from the newspapers? -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:08, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A voice from the tomb: we usually include West End and Broadway productions in lists of revivals, but unless there are compelling reasons to the contrary we don't single out any of the innumerable out-of-town, provincial or repertory productions. The family revival in question may be of encyclopaedic importance to the family article, if there is one, but is neither here nor there in relation to the Hay Fever article, me judice.

Original language issue

Hi Ssilvers, I went through all the links you gave in Ballerina. Unfortunately they are all just about the topic, very little in terms of production and even there no talk about original language. People here want it English-language. I gave a link that says its original language was French, but it was removed. I guess people think it should be English, so Wikipedia states it's English and everyone else reflects this. The Tweet of Laurent Zeitoun clearly says it was both languages at the same time, so they worked it all in parallel, with parallel voice casts. Then in the Frech speaking world the French language was released (first) and in the English language world the English-language version was released soon thereafter. So there is the original French version and the original English version, bith produced in parallel. I won't argue any further on the article. If editors here feel it's a blemish to say it was produced in two languages, they might as well hide the information. Cheers. Hoverfish Talk 22:28, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I looked also at the French Wikipedia article. They have both casts, as it should be. I think the article here is just about the English version of the film, with a little note at the bottom of the Cast section that there is also a French version of the film that, well, came first. Why only under Cast this information? Go figure. Hoverfish Talk 23:44, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think the article is just wrong. Please don't give up. Eventually, we will be able to get it corrected, when other editors join us. -- Ssilvers (talk) 05:55, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
What I meant by "I won't argue" is that I'm not going to indulge in reverts. When I give a citation and it is removed, the local bias is only too obvious and I'm only one editor. If other editors care to interfere I will surely support them. I fail completely to understand the zeal of not wanting to state the French side, but hey, I have been working for a couple of months on the Cannes Festival series and I've seen plenty of disdain for the French way of looking at things in many American news citations and even in some comments in talk pages. I guess it's a cultural thing. And the French also share a good part in it, as far as I know. Hoverfish Talk 10:05, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nanki-Poo

Re: our toing and froing in The Mikado

Good grief... Words fail me, particularly given the subsequent gibbering nonsense. The inability to understand basic policies and guidelines shown by the misguided editor is never a good basis on which to try and throw ones weight around! - SchroCat (talk) 19:32, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes! What amazes me the most is that editors who have never contributed anything useful to a page show up and insist that the IB, formatting, etc. must be done their way. And, generally, those are the ones who have never worked on any high-quality articles, don't write well and may never have read an actual book. This happens over and over again and wastes the time of productive editors. -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:38, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Playbill inserts/liner notes as sources

Hi Ssilvers, long time no see! I've been working on creating the Make Me a Song (musical) page, and I had a couple questions I couldn't find answers to, and I remember you as being very in the know in regards to both musicals and appropriate sources. There are some things regarding song listings, credits, production history, etc. that I can only find in the playbill (which I have though I didn't see the show), a playbill insert with song notes written by Finn, and the liner notes in my copy of the cast recording. Can I use those as sources? And any advice on the page would be appreciated if you have a moment, I've never created a musical article from nothing before. Thanks so much! ElfLady64 (talk) 03:45, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, User:ElfLady64, you can cite a playbill and liner notes, although reviews by reputable critics in major newspapers and magazines are even better. I'll go look at the page now. -- Ssilvers (talk) 04:47, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Haha! Thanks. I just tweaked it. The (musical) version is probably not notable by itself and should not have an article of its own, and sure enough, when you look at it, The Slipper and the Rose (musical) is a ghastly little stub that should be deleted. -- Ssilvers (talk) 22:22, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your feedback and edits. I have been looking for the past week for in newspapers, magazines, and books for a source explaining why Finn decided to combine the two acts to create Falsettos and found nothing. I can only assume he wanted to make a full-length musical and didn't include In Trousers because it was poorly received. Of course, my assumptions have no place in the article. I am going to keep looking for sources to back up dates for openings/closings of different tours, and then I plan to nominate for GA. Thanks again! Basilisk4u (talk) 20:04, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Diplomacy (play)

Thanks for giving that a review and sprucing it up! When I run across an old play like that and see how popular it once was, and that it doesn't have an article yet, and how MUCH could be written about it, it can be quite a fun but daunting challenge. It still needs a plot summary and a summary of the differences from the Sardou original, but I'd say it a good start now!--Milowenthasspoken 13:26, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I wonder how popular Dora was. Maybe it has an article in French that someone will translate eventually. -- Ssilvers (talk) 14:09, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Dora was a definitely a success in Paris, but there's no indication it stood out among his many plays to the French. There's no French wikipedia article on that one yet. Plays adapted into English often took on a life of their own, I wonder if Sardou ever saw any of them. There were definitely English critics who saw both Dora and Diplomacy and wrote about the differences, that is another area for expansion.--Milowenthasspoken 16:17, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Help!

Hi Ssilvers! I'm using this Trove bio, written in 1890, to write an article on Phil Goatcher, who did a lot of stage scenery painting, and I've hit a roadblock on this paragraph, which sounds important but I can find no other reference to it or anything like it:

Subsequently (1886), Mr. Goatcher joined the staff of scenic artists attached to Theodor Thomas' Great American Opera Company, the most colossal musical organisation that the world has ever seen. The scenic artists, including the subject of this sketch, were nine in number, several of them being well-known in the English literary world through their clever illustrations of American books and magazines. Unfortunately the Great American Opera Company came to a disastrous termination, and resolved itself into a never-ending string of law-suits.

Does this ring any bells ? It sounds like something up your street. Cheers, Doug butler (talk) 05:25, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Doug butler, I think you mean Theodore Thomas (conductor), the music director of the American Opera Company#Jeannette Thurber's American Opera Company. It survived only a year before declaring bankruptcy, and the above description is, to paraphrase Mark Twain, greatly exaggerated. The Australians (and, really, all the Victorians), were prone to such flights of fancy. -- Ssilvers (talk) 05:51, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, yes I saw that article of course, and must assume you're right. What a letdown! The rest of the article was just standard chest-thumping and trumpet blowing, but that was OTT. Thanks for the prompt reply. Doug butler (talk) 06:30, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, SergeWoodzing. It feels spammy to me. I have to think that there must be hundreds of free images more directly relevant to West Side Story.

Gutenberg link on Arthur Sullivan

I saw that you reverted my edit to the Project Gutenberg template on Arthur Sullivan, saying that it wasn't the same link. When the template is given a name instead of a number id, the template links to a Project Gutenberg disambiguation page. The old link, which you reverted to, is https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/authors/search/?query=Sullivan,+Arthur, which shows two authors by the name of Arthur Sullivan. My edit links directly to the correct one, https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/422. So no, its not the same link, but it is a more correct one. --Mikaka (talk) 01:48, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reinstating it. Though he's not an author, I suspect that users looking for the transcript of the plays will appreciate a link to Project Gutenberg on the article; it's a known and trusted resource. Besides, if you remove it you'll probably have to deal with people adding it back in. --Mikaka (talk) 01:13, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The full text of the G&S operas (is that what you mean by "plays"?) is contained at the Gilbert and Sullivan Archive, among other sources cited in the article, so I don't think that is a convincing reason to leave it in. Also the idea that I might have to fight vandalism and edit warring doesn't concern me; it's par for the course. I had hoped that there was a better reason to leave the EL in the article. Still, the EL section is not too much of a WP:LINKFARM at this time, so I'm not in a hurry to remove it. All the best, -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:32, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Gilbert photograph: 1878?

I found a high-resolution copy of the Elliott & Fry photograph of Gilbert. Slightly different colours - to me the old one looks too faded, and this one maybe slightly too dark, but I'll fix that as I restore it. This version includes the cabinet card mount; I think that's a good thing, but we could crop it for some usages pretty easily. (I'd suggest {{CSS image crop}} - let me know and I'll set it up. I'm rather pleased. I've wanted to get a high-resolution photograph of Gilbert for ages. No sign of one for Sullivan at present, though.

To note, I can't find where the attribution to "about 1878" comes from. Certainly, he looks younger than photos from the 1890s, but that's the only evidence I can find for dates. As such, I've made it the more approximate sounding "about 1880" Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.2% of all FPs 04:51, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, still too dark. He looks younger than his 1886 painting, and much older than his 1867 photo with his wife. I don't know where we got 1878, but the NYPL file says no later than 1879. I wouldn't be surprised if 1878 turns out to be right. -- Ssilvers (talk) 05:58, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If we're presuming the "1979" is a typo for 1879, I think you're right, just I wish that typo wasn't there. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.2% of all FPs 21:29, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Haha! I didn't even notice the typo. Well, let's leave your c. 1880 for now, but please keep an eye out. User:Kosboot or User:Epicgenius, can you advise re the date in the NYPL file, or otherwise figure out the exact year? -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:57, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the ping @Ssilvers. I did a little digging into this matter and, unfortunately, the entire collection contains the same vague 1860-1979 range. This lines up with what the collection's description page says, although that page also notes that "Most of the photographs date from the end of the 19th-century, and the sitters are largely European, by European photographers".
As for the exact year of publication, I'm not too sure either, although I suspect this was published and copyrighted in the UK, so maybe the UK government has a record of when these images were published/copyrighted. – Epicgenius (talk) 00:06, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Headings within Kristin Chenoweth 'Personal life'

You "strongly objected" to headings within Kristin Chenoweth's personal life. Why is that? It makes it much more coherent and information easier to locate. Originally I looked at this article, not as editor, but as a reader interested in an aspect of Chenoweth's personal life. I had to read through a lot of bulky text before finding it. Not every reader wants to go through every aspect of her medical history, dating history, her memoir, her appearance at the 700 club, to find something which could be easily located with headings. Before editing, I found her original Wikipedia article had similar subheadings within her personal life and someone removed it. This is a restoration of headings which someone had deleted years back. Beth Timken (talk) 16:05, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, User:Beth Timken. I do not object to headings unless they are unnecessary and covered by the existing headings. Headings should cover up to one screen of text. If you want to break sections down with additional headings, it must be because the current heading does not cover the content -- you clearly knew that this information would be in the "personal life" section. Readers should be patient enough to read through a short section like that to find all the information that belongs in it without needing to see a new heading for each paragraph. Wikipedia is not a newspaper, it is an encyclopedia, and so the writing style is different. I also object to Talk page notes that are in multiple paragraphs. Why? They clutter up the talk page. "Personal life" is one of the least important sections of an encyclopedia biography, especially for a living person, and people like to add unencylopedic rumors and gossip to it. It should be kept short enough not to need subheadings. The Heading "medical" is profoundly unencyclopedic in Chenoweth's case. -- all we find when we go there is that Chenoweth claims to have Menier's disease, despite famously starring in a show that required her to stand suspended above the stage for long periods of time. If you wanted to know specifically about her Menier's you could have just searched the text (but you won't find much substantive about it, just that she has sometimes said she suffer from it. If you are looking for other medical information, the heading will be disappointing. I don't see why breaking this short section down into stubby little sections would be helpful at all. And breaking up paragraphs into stubby smaller paragraphs is journalistic, not encyclopedic. In addition, you should not add the language parameter to citations from English-language sources. You only need this parameter for foreign language sources. Finally, please note that I routinely delete conversations like this from my Talk page. If you want to have a conversation about an article that will be retained, I suggest having that conversation at an article's Talk page, not an editor's. -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:54, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

J. M. Gordon

I am researching my family tree, and discover a family connection with the above. However, I see no reference to his marriage to Annie Mae Piemonte, whom he married in Liverpool. I believe she was his only wife and the couple had only one child, as you state. Annie May was, I believe, a singer with a vocal troupe and originated in Italy. I could be persuaded to believe she sang for G&S in some capacity. I would love to hear thoughts on this. 86.172.244.120 (talk) 00:46, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Maude Adams

please note the US Patent and Trademark Office article (currently reference #27) which provides detailed information on Adams extensive stage design responsibilities, and cites her work at G.E. to create a new type of light bulb for stage lighting, for which she is named as inventor on three patents.

User:Jacksogh1987, I gave it a copy edit. The main problems were lack of dates, and that the bio should be in roughly chronological order. I did not read or check the sources.

Violet Vanbrugh and John Gielgud

Hi Ssilvers. I'm not a frequent editor and I'm always happy to be corrected on matters of style, but I'm confused by the placement of Gielgud's memoirs below the inline references in Violet Vanbrugh. When I moved it up, I was following the model of Harold Acton's memoirs, which are currently cited inline in footnote 7 of the same article. Each is a book with only a passing mention of Vanbrugh, and each is quoted just once in the text. So why are they treated differently in the citations, with Acton listed in full in the inline notes but Gielgud listed below? This is not a complaint, just an honest question. My understanding was that an article should have either a consolidated list of references below the notes with sfn or harvnb short refs in the notes themselves, or it should have each work cited in full in the inline refs at first appearance and refnames used for subsequent citations -- but not a mixture of the two. When I moved Gielgud, I was trying to make the citations consistent. To help me avoid making the same mistake again, could you briefly explain why that is wrong, and why the two books should be cited differently? Thanks, Crawdad Blues (talk) 01:05, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

User:Crawdad Blues: Thanks for noting this. All the book cites should be at the bottom under "Sources", with "short cites" (author name and page number) in line (I prefer not to use the Harv or sfn templates, as manual is easier to modify and just as correct). I've moved Acton down now. But we need the page number where this info came from. Can you find it? -- Ssilvers (talk) 04:26, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I can't help with the page number in Acton, I'm afraid. (I didn't add that quotation, and when I did a quick check yesterday I could only find online copies of the second volume, which is not the one cited here.) But I was planning to add a couple of refs to the memoirs of Ellen Terry and Irene Vanbrugh, which I held off doing after I saw your reversion of the Gielgud. I will now put them at the bottom with the others rather than inline.
I have to say though, I don't really understand the sense of separating out the books just because they are books. A source is a source, whether it's a journal article or a book or an online encyclopedia entry. To my eyes, listing the books under their own heading separate from the other sources gives readers a misleading impression of their importance, especially since, in this case at least, they are not very important at all, and each of them is cited only once, as compared to, say, the ODNB articles, which are tucked away in the inline references in a smaller font, even though they are far more useful and cited more frequently. It's the inconsistency of using two different systems of citation in the same article that baffles me. Still, I understand that expecting Wikipedia to be consistent is like expecting my dog to play the piano, and since I have no personal investment in any of this I can roll with just about any wacky style of referencing that a given article chooses to use. Thanks for the response; I will follow your lead in any other edits I make to Violet Vanbrugh. Cheers, Crawdad Blues (talk) 21:26, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If you look at WP:Featured Articles, they usually do it that way. I'm not sure why, historically, but it does provide a bibliography of a subject handily at the bottom. Books are different from things like ODNB, which is a tertiary source. -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:48, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Advice handling vandalism on Six (musical) article

Hello! I've used several of the articles you made contributions to as inspiration/guidance on how to clean up and improve some of the musical theatre articles that I've worked on or are currently working on. I noticed that the Six article appears to be consistently vandalized by multiple users. These contributors are adding tons of unnecessary content to the page, such that it reads to me like a fan page. I've noticed in the past weeks that some other editors try to revert some of the unconstructive edits but they get reverted and remain on the article. A lot of the unconstructive edits appear to be done by users who are new or done by IP addresses.

I want to clean up the article but am leery about getting into an edit war. I'm not sure what to do here. Do you have any suggestions or advice? Thanks in advance! ChrisWilliam1995 (talk) 20:33, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Further Help sought!

Hello - I am still trying to publish the article on conductor George Jackson:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Ssilvers/Draft:George_Jackson_(conductor)

This has been declined for autobiographical reasons, although I am not the subject of the article! Can you help with resubmitting and tidying up? Thank you! Jacksogh1987 (talk) 18:15, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It was not declined because of the apparent WP:COI: it was declined for lack of a sufficient number of independent WP:Reliable sources that give Jackson significant coverage. I added a newspaper article to his entry that is clearly an independent WP:RS that gives him significant coverage. You need to add at least a couple more independent newspaper articles that are specifically devoted to Jackson. Also, you should add several more news articles reviewing his performances. Not social media: Actual mainstream news sources. Also, you should add more information about his career, including some of the engagements mentioned in the source I added and in the Violin Channel article. Finally, if you are not connected in any way to Jackson, you should change your Wikipedia username; however if you have a personal or professional relationship with him, you should disclose it per WP:COI. Good luck! -- Ssilvers (talk) 01:22, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why should casting for a show only be placed when a production opens?

Hi, I know you and I had some disagreements months ago on a theatre page but I do agree with you about not placing casts on theatre pages until they have officially opened to the public. However, I have been dealing with one person on another musical page who keeps adding future casting before the production opens and they won't seem to stop. I have given them good reasons but they don't seem to think it's enough. I could really use some imput. What is your reasoning behind waiting on casting to be placed on a page until it officially opens? Thanks! Smitty1999 (talk) 02:08, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. Off the top of my head: 1. The production could be cancelled. This happened to numerous productions at the beginning of the Covid pandemic, and it routinely happens when producers don't come up with the funds for a production. It can happen for a variety of other reasons, like last-minute damage to the theatre, a stage-hand, actor or orchestra strike, or even bad press/word-of-mouth that causes a production to fizzle even before previews begin. 2. An actor can have an injury or other medical problem shortly before the show opens. This happened in the recent B'way revival of West Side Story and to several actors during rehearsals of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. 3. An actor can be fired or just quit during rehearsals. 4. The source can be mistaken, so it is best not to jump on the first source. 5. Casting is an over-written part of musical theatre articles anyhow, which give cast information often three times -- especially bad are the bloated cast tables that take up far more real estate in an article than they really deserve, and this is made worse by prematurely adding more columns. 6. The production doesn't really "exist" until it at least begins public performances. -- Ssilvers (talk) 02:42, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

His revert was proper per the usual WP:BRD procedure. Plus, you should not change article names without first raising a consensus on an article Talk page to do so. You can now open a discussion on the Talk page about it. But this is a Featured Article, which means that it has been reviewed by multiple experienced editors.

Hi. The table and infobox should only list major-market productions (Broadway, West End, or long running US or UK national tours). Plus, things only go in tables and infoboxes *after* they open.

Move page name?

Good day. Can you help me change the page name of the article Jona Viray to Jona (Filipino singer). She already changed her screen name in 2016, following her network transfer. Thank you. Loibird90 (talk) 06:55, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I don't think we can change the page name to Jona, because there are other important articles with the same name, including a place name and an article about at least one other person who uses the name mononomously. See MOS:PRIMARYTOPIC. Note that she is already linked on the current Jona page. I think her current article's name is probably the best one. However, if you wish, you can start a discussion about it on her article's Talk page, and if you get a strong WP:CONSENSUS to move the page, then you will need to get an administrator and convince them to help move the pages -- they would have to move the current Jona page also, and they might require that a broader discussion take place on another page. Best of luck! -- Ssilvers (talk) 15:52, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Recordings of The Gondoliers

Hi Ssilvers. I figured you might be interested in this: I have uploaded some recordings of The Gondoliers.

The first recordings are historical public-domain ones: the more-or-less complete 1919 HMV recording of the opera. The quality of the recording is not great, owing to the usual limitations of those early recordings. Nevertheless, they are public domain and clips can be freely taken.

Then, I've also added a much newer recording — this one is a recording of a live performance (in which I am Giuseppe). I also was the videographer and audio engineer (I will admit to winging it in the latter capacity). Nowhere near the historical notability, but certainly recording technology has come a long way in the past century!

We have a few other recordings, including the famous 1927 recording, on IMSLP, but they are not in the public domain in the US yet (although they are in the public domain in Canada, where IMSLP is hosted, as well as the UK). The 1927 recording will be in the US public domain in 2028, at which point it can be added to Commons. It is far better than the 1919 recording (in no small part due to the technological jump made in the eight intervening years). D. Benjamin Miller (talk) 10:50, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

User:D. Benjamin Miller, I enjoyed listening to your singing in the Lakeshore Gondoliers very much, but it is an amateur production with no special historical importance and should not be included in any of WP's general G&S pages. However, I suggest that you add the file of the 2023 recording to the article on Lakeshore Light Opera (and also update that article and, if possible, add more citations to verify the existing text). I am not inclined to add the 1919 files at this time (I'd wait until 1928 and add the better one), but you should add External Links to The Gondoliers and other G&S articles linking to the best IMSLP files. Sounds good? -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:44, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I agree that it's not particularly historically important to G&S. (Actually, I'm not sure I am supposed to edit the Lakeshore Light Opera page, due to COI rules - as I was affiliated with the group - but you could add the video.)
The Gondoliers page already links (I believe) to the IMSLP page, which has the 1927 recordings (as well as the newer ones).
Relatedly, a complete set of recordings of Iolanthe will enter the US public domain on January 1, at which point I'll upload them to Commons as well.
D. Benjamin Miller (talk) 20:03, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There will not be a problem with you editing the Lakeshore article, as you don't have a financial interest in the company (unless, you are its producer or a paid employee), unless you were to write about yourself. If something about you personally should go in the article, you could tell me about it, and I'll be happy to add it if I agree. But there will not be any problem with you adding WP:Reliable sources to the article that merely verify assertions that are already there. But if you don't feel comfortable, give me the cites, and I'd be happy to review and add them. BTW, I have never added a sound/video file like this to an article and don't actually know how to do it. It it the same process as for an .ogg file? -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:23, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hm, not sure, because WP:COI seems to be broader. (Otherwise, there could be issues — such as with non-profits as is the case here.) I'm also definitely the producer of the video in question. I don't really have any information to add beyond what is on LLO.org, in any case.
For sound/video files, it's the same with any supported file type (so, same for FLAC or WEBM as for OGG). Template:Listen gives good examples of how to insert a sound or video clip. D. Benjamin Miller (talk) 21:26, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. As I said, if you can find cites for the uncited material in the article, and referenced updates, put them on the article's Talk page, and I will gladly review and insert them. -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:40, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So, I was able to get most of the old HMV recordings, which I'm now uploading (in decent quality, for the source material). Some of these were already uploaded.

Many of these are already PD-US, or will be PD-US on January 1 (based on publication in 1923 or earlier). I'm adding clips to some pages. These are especially useful for articles for some of the singers of that era: Peter Dawson and Bessie Jones, for example.

Maybe I should work on categorizing these recordings with more granularity (and work to put them all in Category:Audio files of music by Arthur Sullivan on Commons). D. Benjamin Miller (talk) 13:48, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding the files to those articles. Like the vast majority WP readers, I don't pay much attention to categories. Happy New Year! -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:13, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done, User:T. E. Meeks. Go to the article to see how I did it. It is possible that someone will still delete it if they believe that the ref is not a WP:RS. -- Ssilvers (talk) 01:15, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sia page

Hi, hope you're well! Just wondering about Sia... earlier sections of her career are much more detailed than the current one (2017–present), with not only months listed for dates but also specific collaborations mentioned etc. I appreciate she has been doing less recently but is it not worth having a bit more detail (e.g. months of release or Miley Cyrus / Diljit Dosanjh / Ozuna collaborations)? — Peterpie123rww (talk) 12:01, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, User:Peterpie123rww. Yes, collaborations with notable people should be mentioned, especially if they charted in the top 10 or something important like that. But I don't see where we mention months of singles releases. We should and do give full dates of album releases, but I think years is enough for singles releases, unless we are making a point about the sequence of events around the time of the release. Indeed, except for early milestone developments in her career, I was thinking that we really don't need to mention individual singles unless they charted very significantly. That's what the discography is for, and I would not mind if you thinned out the chaff from the wheat in the earlier periods. After all, the article is going to keep getting longer and longer.... BTW, I only have limited computer time for the next couple of months. -- Ssilvers (talk) 02:36, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again @Ssilvers. I have a user on a musical page who believes understudies and ensembles "DESERVE" to be on casting tables. I know this is not something we see on casting tables as they are reserved for principal actors only. Just want to confirm this as they seem to be taking a stance on it. Could they be listed in narrative form in the production history section by any chance? Thanks! Smitty1999 (talk) 00:47, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is an encyclopedia. Such trivia does not belong here. It can be published in a book about the musical, or the person's own social media. Let me know which musical, and I'll happily comment there about it. See WP:BALASP and WP:NOTEWORTHY in general. -- Ssilvers (talk) 01:09, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ssilvers Thank you! The page is Operation Mincemeat. The new musical in London about a World War II operation of the same name. Great show! Saw it last year and it was funny! Anyway, the thing that started this conversation was because it is a small cast of five who alternate roles throughout the show and they also have understudies who perform every so often, kinda like Six. The page could use some spring cleaning/organizing. Smitty1999 (talk) 01:24, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I mean, there's probably a few cases of notable understudies who took over the role and became famous thereby, but that's... not the standard, is it? I think in the cases where understudies should be mentioned, it will be very obvious. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs. 17:32, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed. We often say (in the Productions section) that the production marked the Broadway or WE debut of such-and-such-very-famous actor in the ensemble or whatever. -- Ssilvers (talk) 15:02, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Civil Discourse

I am having similar issues that you are having with an editor and look forward to learning from you how you resolve the difference of opinion. OneMoreByte (talk) 05:59, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:OneMoreByte, I suggest that you pay close attention to the advice of User:Nikkimaria, one of the best Wikipedians I know of. What you added to the U of P Lead was poorly referenced (See WP:RS), including links to the school's own marketing puffery, and included stuff like the names of supreme court justices, and in other ways it did not comply with the requirements of WP:LEAD, which you will see if you read it carefully. Your argument that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not helpful at all. See Wikipedia:Dispute resolution and WP:CONSENSUS for discussions of how to proceed when your edits have been opposed by another editor. Before you start making major changes to the leads of mature articles, I suggest that you work on the bodies of articles and learn how to add high-quality references (again, WP:RS is the guideline there). Good luck! -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:16, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Looks like we overlapped at User talk:PleeUK; I was starting a new section as you were giving them some thoughtful pointers. Thank you for that. Fred Zepelin (talk) 17:04, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. I am hopeful that User:PleeUK will read WP:V and WP:RS and do the research necessary to find good sources to cite that verify the assertions in the article and that would show WP:SIGCOV. Even if they do not succeed, they may learn from the exercise and become a good contributor. -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:17, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MJ Musical Page

Hi again! I just read through the MJ the Musical page and it is looking more like a fan page. I am trying to find a template/label to place on it until it can look like a proper encyclopedia page but don't know what to search for. Thanks again for all of your help recently. Smitty1999 (talk) 13:47, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Instead of putting a tag on the page, why don't you revise the prose to make it more encyclopedic? After you do so, give me a shout, and I'll be happy to give it a once over too. I just looked over the Lead section, and that does not have a problem with fancruft or tone. -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:43, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I made some necessary revisions to make it look more encyclopedic. The one thing I have a concern with is the cast table. With the amount of alternating actors for the young Michael Jackson, it makes it look very bloated for future productions being added. Smitty1999 (talk) 19:55, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure I have a problem with it. We have the same problem with shows like Matilda (musical) and Billy Elliot the Musical. The main thing is to keep short-running productions out of the table. -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:12, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Always remove audience/fan awards. -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:42, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I used the source editing feature to condense the table better and not look as bloated. Looks much better. Also, will do with removing the audience awards section. Thanks again for your help. Smitty1999 (talk) 22:49, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I already removed the audience award sections in this article. -- Ssilvers (talk) 22:53, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Robert Strange (actor)

Hi @Ssilvers:, we are making the article for actor Robert Strange, can you help us construct the filmography please? CheAjlt (talk) 21:31, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hola, CheAjlt. Antes de hacer una filmografía, deberías escribir sobre sus actuaciones más destacadas en una sección de Carrera. También necesitas una sección de Reputación, en la que se analice lo que los críticos y comentaristas posteriores han dicho sobre su actuación, técnica y reputación. Una vez que estén en buena forma, con las citas, puedes empezar con los créditos teatrales y las tablas de filmografía, que son mucho menos importantes (la gente ya puede ver más o menos su filmografía en IMDB). Ten cuidado de no WP:CITEKILL : no deberías necesitar más de dos buenas citas para cualquier afirmación, y veo un par de lugares en el artículo que están innecesariamente repletos de 3 citas: elige las dos mejores. -- Ssilvers (discusión) 21:44 23 jul 2024 (UTC) [ responder ]

Robtdever, es muy simple. Donahue no es una persona con vínculo azul, el primer criterio para esta tabla. Tenga en cuenta que todos los miembros de la tabla tienen vínculo azul. No haga WP:EDIT WAR . Si realiza una edición y alguien se opone, no restablezca su edición hasta que haya un consenso para hacerlo en la página de discusión del artículo. Consulte WP:BRD para saber cómo funciona el proceso. Tenga en cuenta también que el lugar para discutir esto es en la página de discusión del artículo, no aquí. -- Ssilvers (discusión) 16:43, 22 de agosto de 2024 (UTC) [ responder ]
